    Energy in movement and quiet placidity seen from the eyes of a fly on the wall. Edgar Degas' Ballet Rehearsal, 1874 oil on canvas is twenty three inches by thirty three inches (Honour et al. 2005). The painting utilizes a sophisticated pallet and whimsical impressionist painting style to enchant its viewer. One of a series examining dancers, the painting of ballet students in rehearsal conveys Degas' knowledge and fascination with the human form as well as his mastery of formal elements of art. The configuration of the art work ponders a contrast between background and foreground utilizing dualities such as light and dark, energy and serenity, and clarity to obscurity. Line and space pulls the audience's attention across the entirety of the composition. The impressionistic style successfully captures a moment in time, saturated with chaotic elements caught un-posed and half seen, as they are in real life. Ballet Rehearsal's composition successfully blends line, color, light, shadow, and space in order to build an impressive example of visual art.…

    Considered to be extremely bizarre, the music of Claude Debussy had to have many influences in order to make it that way. All of the aspects that influenced Debussy clearly showed in each of his works. Debussy was an impressionist, his music focuses on a suggestion and an atmosphere rather than on a strong emotion or the depiction of a story. Symbolist poets inspired many of his pieces; he would compose the music for operas and poems from the writers’ poems. He got a lot of his ideas through experiencing exotic music styles.
